Battle of Wills

In which Sanura and Crook are pitted against each other in a vie for dominance

SanuraSanura spends a few hours on google looking up what she can about the fire, the school, the teachers, and anything else she can think of that might relate. Once every resource is exhausted she has some free time, like she hardly ever does at home and takes out a little kit with leather and tooling and carving tools.

STCrook, in the meantime, naps on the comfy hotel bed, blissfully unaware of what’s in store for him.

SanuraShe works quietly, diligently. Adding details and the like to the small collar.. to small for a person and to large for a braclet.

STLittle snores come from the bundled up furball.

Sanura[like the collar here but with an all seeing eye and made of leather ]

SanuraOnce she’s finished she grins a little and glances at the sleeping kitty. He’d had plenty of nap time and she walks over to where he rests. “Cro-o-ok” sing songed to wake him up.

STWith a quiet little trill his head pops up and he sleepily squints at Sanura, looking ready to fall asleep again.

SanuraSmiles “sleepy hunter.. I’ve made a present for you.. wake up” reaching out she scratches under his chin lightly with her free hand.

STHe stretches his chin out as she does so, his eyes closing in equal parts drowsiness and bliss.

SanuraChuckles as she draws her hand back. She was tempted to slip the collar on him but that’d be rude, he was a sacred guardian after all. She rests the decorated collar in front of him. “What do you think?”

STCrook slowly opens his eyes to regard the collar. Oh, an offering? He stretches out his neck to sniff at it, but doesn’t get up. After his examination, he shifts as he curls into another ball and re-settles. This offering pleases me. I will chew on it on the morrow.

SanuraShe blinks softly and then laughs a little “it’s a gift.. and it’s not to chew .. it’s to wear.. it’s a necklace” because collar isn’t the word to use nope

STHe makes a dismissive little grumbling noise.

SanuraHer smile falters.. “You don’t like it?” she sighs “but.. Crook I.. I spent hours on it just for you.. because you’re so special I thought you shouldn’t ever be mistaken for some silly mortal cat..”

STCrook’s stomach rises and falls with his slow, even breaths.

SanuraHer jaw drops “Crook wake up you lil furball” tugs his ear. “I worked on this for hours and you are going to at least try it on or you’ll be eating mice for the next week and no more treats either”

STCrook’s head pops up again and he stares at Sanura, fully alert now. What.

SanuraSighs “I said you’re going to try this on or else no more chicken dinners or room service this week and no more treats chicken shrimp or otherwise” she’d went to straight to spoiling him when she realized he was going to be part of her life.

SanuraShe smirks softly “Oh I can and I will” she holds up the collar opening towards him. “c’mon let’s see how regal you look” she tries a softer hand again.

STHe turns his head to the side and closes his eyes, giving Sanura a fully-fledged snub. That’s fine. There are plenty of mice and rats here. And… and fish! Yes. I don’t need your offerings.

SanuraShe scoffs softly “oh I’m sure you’ll have fun doing that rather than sunning yourself or having yummy treats brought to you on a plate hmm? Much less napping and you have to find time to do that between all our appointments as well”

STCrook hops off the bed and pads over to the sliding glass door leading to the balcony, then parks his butt there, his tail swishing across the floor.

SanuraSanura hmmphs softly and goes to the hotel phone, calling for room service she orders a shrimp scampi to be sent up. She’d set the collar aside and start work on a gift for Sofia.

SanuraWhen the shrimp arrives she sets it next to her on the table and goes back to work on the other gift.

STOne of Crook’s ears turns in Sanura’s direction, but he continues staring out at the balcony.

SanuraPicking up one of the shrimp she bites into it “mmmn” she makes a show of how yummy it is, licking her fingers.

STBoth ears turn backwards, then forwards again. He scratches once at the door before him.

SanuraShe hmms softly and has another. “how’s the hunting working for you their Thumbs” she smirks

STWith a grumble he lies couchant, both ears turned back, tail thumping in agitation against the floor.

SanuraHearing his grumble she grins a little “Hmmn only four left.. but.. tsk I’m not really hungry anymore.. I guess I’ll just… flush the rest.”

SanuraShe gathers the shells and puts them on the plate, standing she walks towards the bathroom, slowly. “such a shame.. so juicey and sweet.”

ST(( Mel, roll Wits + Dex + Awareness ))

Sanura[[10 ]

STYou manage to catch your footing as Crook darts under your feet in the midst of your stride. In fact, you even manage to accidentally kick him across the room.

SanuraShe winced softly but then schooled her features and continued on her way to the bathroom. “Tsk.. becareful Crook, wouldn’t want your tail trod upon”

STCrook recovers quickly and darts into the bathroom, sitting on the toilet seat, his head imperiously tilted up. I may not need it, but I won’t let you waste such an offering on Sobek.

SanuraShe reaches down to lift up the seat, wary of swiping claws. “you don’t need my offerings why not sacrifice them to the crocodile”

SanuraLaughing at his scrabbling “Well he may not be as handsom as you but I’m sure he’d be more gracious in accepting a gift”

STIt’s clear he’s losing the battle. NOOOOOO As the shrimp plops in the toilet, Crook jumps into the bowl, splashing toilet water all over the floor.

SanuraBlinks softly and can’t help it she puts the seat all the way up and starts laughing, sliding down the wall opposite the toilet.

SanuraShe dashes towards the living area and grabs for her phone… blackmail incomming.

STCrook struggles, slipping on the sides of the toilet as he tries to get out, making little strangled yowling noises.

SanuraShe snaps one photo before reaching in and rescuing him from himself.

STThe picture is taken and Crook is easily rescued. He slips out of your grasp and lands on the floor with a wet plop. Wet, tense, and dare one say a little pathetic, he straightens, shoring up as much of his shattered dignity as he can. Fine. I will try on this… necklace.

SanuraShe smiles a little and gets a clean towel from the linens “let’s get you dry first?” she tosses the phone to the bed and walks over holding out the towel for him to hop into to get dry.

STCrook coils himself up to jump but slips on the wet floor, falling flat on his kittyface. He immediately scrambles up and tries again, succeeding this time.

SanuraSanura winces softly and then lightly hugs him as she pets over his wet fur with the towel. “How about I order some more shrimp hmm and warm cream?”

STIt’s a start.

SanuraShe chuckles softly to that and then sets him down on the bed placing the call she’d then return to the bed with the ‘necklace’ holding it out towards him again. “let’s see then..”
